We have the Storybook UOC--called last night to ask a question and ending up booking BECAUSE....the CM heavily insinuated that free dining offer will be coming out for my travel dates 6/12-6/18. (I actually told him we were willing to book any week from 6/12 to 6/26.)
I heavily questioned, and he answered willingly...but not confirming, because we all know they can't. I don't recall free dining in the summer recently...which I mentioned, and I also mentioned since the 'Awaken' deal was recently released and was good for the most of the summer, I didn't expect to see another deal come out. He highly encouraged me to get the rooms we wanted so that I could call back to change to the free dining...then he would correct himself and say 'if' there is free dining. He let it slip at first indicating this would come out March/April time period...but when I questioned again to make sure, he said just to keep checking regularly.
Should I believe it???
I did go ahead and hold our rooms. We are a family of 6 and that by itself creates issues. Using my UOC, the price came up significantly higher than what I had seen on line. If the dining comes off, he gave me what the price would be, and I'm right back to what I had priced anyway...which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
There were not any standard rooms, so he booked water view, plus did the DDP so that I can make dining reservations now...and if free dining becomes available I can just pay the upgrade. When I priced on my own, we were only doing quick svc, standard room...but the price was a LOT cheaper...more than what the differences in the upgrades accounted for. I'm not as happy as I should be after booking because I'm afraid we will end up cancelling if I can't get our price down.
We will more than likely change resorts to save some $$.
